This review article proposes the identification and basic concepts of materials that might be
used for the production of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high-performance …

The high strength concrete has been extensively used in the past decades for several
construction projects such as high-rise buildings, bridge construction, sports arenas etc. The …

Nano sesame stalk ash (NSSA) and rice straw ash (RSA) are by-products of bioenergy
production. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effects of using NSSA with RSA on …

Providing additional water to the hydrating cementitious particles is essential to achieve the
optimal mechanical performance of the low w/b concrete mixes preferred for 3D printing …

The closed working condition of grouting materials leads to insufficient curing water supply
during their strength development. In this work, the superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was used …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) technology offers advantages in safety, efficiency,
environmental protection, and economy, and it has been increasingly applied in mines …

This research characterises bamboo leaf ash (BLA), which was obtained by calcining dry
bamboo leaves at approximately 600° C for 2 h in a laboratory-controlled muffle furnace. To …

This study investigates the effects of internal curing agents on the autogenous shrinkage,
hydration, and microstructure of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). Lightweight …

Some road and bridge projects to be repaired require materials that can quickly and easily
obtain high mechanical properties. Added early strength agents are commonly used to …

Repetitive self-healing is important for ensuring the long-term effectiveness of cementitious
materials. However, research on in-situ preservation and carbonisation of ammonia water …
